Around the Area

Lake Mohawk is a defining characteristic of the town and residents enjoy swimming, boating and other water related activities in the summer and ice skating and even ice boating in the winter. At one end of the lake, a town center offers several dining options while there are restaurants located in several spots around town. Entertainment includes a movie theater and performances by the Lake Mohawk water skiing team.

Sparta Mountain is also a key feature of the town. A large portion of land on and around the mountain is preserved and includes hiking trails and some sections where hunting is allowed.

Thomas Edison had a strong presence in the township, working at an iron mine and then operating a quarry in the 19th century. The area began to develop as a resort community in the 1920s after the Arthur D. Crane Co. purchased 2,600 acres of farmland, damned the river and created the Lake Mohawk Country Club community.

In addition to many unique lake style homes and lake communities, the township has many new homes built during the last 20 years.
